"Having explained in the past how issues get on the public agenda, Cobb and Ross now ask how they are kept off. The study of interest groups will benefit greatly from their analysis of the politics of cultural interpretation."--Erwin C. Hargrove, coeditor of Impossible Jobs in Public Management
"The authors in this collection reverse the setting-the-agenda lens to examine instead why serious governmental discussion of many important issues is blocked or forbidden. Consequently, some previously shadowy matters of social construction and political psychology come into much sharper focus. The power of denial and the cultural taboos, symbols, and stereotypes that fuel them open a promising new agenda in agenda research."--Helen Ingram, coauthor of Policy Design for Democracy
"Cobb and Ross make a compelling case for the significance of agenda denial. A wonderfully diverse collection of case studies help to highlight the importance of cultural symbols as well as material resources in the struggle for issue containment."--Elaine B. Sharp, author of Drug Policy in the U.S.
"Offering both an accessible theoretical framework and a set of integrated case studies, this volume provides an understanding of why major agenda changes are infrequent and the status quo remains intact."--Burdett Loomis, author of Time, Politics, and Policies
Marc Howard Ross, the William Rand Kenan, Jr., Professor in the department of political science at Bryn Mawr College, is the author of The Culture of Conflict: Interpretations and Interests in Comparative Perspectives and The Management of Conflict: Interpretations and Interests in Comparative Perspective.
